The recent Grenfell Tower disaster got us thinking about what a great job our local Fire Service does. So, as a token of our appreciation for some of our local heroes we took a cake to our local Naas, Newbridge and Maynooth stations, to say thanks from all at Naas CU!

 

While we were there, we picked up some great tips on fire safety that we wanted to share with our members. See below for some great tips on fire safety for your home.
